You hear those stories every day down here in florida. Last year when the market was still hot people were buying condos pre-construction and flipping them 3 or 4 times before the damn things were completed. The problem with condos on the beach is that most of them are empty most of the time. All the small affordable hotels and motels sell out and the whole beach economy dries up. Who wants to take their family to the beach that has no restuarants, affordable lodging, or marinas with deep sea fishing boats. Instead you have old geezers who live somewhere else 6 or 7 months out of the year and a bunch of wanna be real estate moguls. Sorry for my rant! >:(
